Does your job require you to sit all day or, on the contrary, often stand? Is your lower back painful? The Relaxing Wave treatment is for you. While our modern lifestyles have made back pain the problem of the century, our Relaxing Wave back massage relaxes this highly stressed body part and helps restore mobility.
A soothing and regenerating body ritual
After a skin diagnosis performed by our practitioner, the Payot La Vague Relaxante body treatment immerses you in a cocoon of well-being. A soothing cushion is placed over your eyes and hot stones are placed in the palms of your hands. The weight of the cushion creates a sensation of heaviness that immediately relieves tension around your eyes, while the heat diffused by the stones gently spreads throughout the body and relaxes muscles. My Payot Radiance Mist is sprayed onto the skin. It hydrates and invigorates its radiance. With goji berries and acai, it creates a bubble of sensoriality in which the PAYOT Gestures can begin.
A ritual in its own right, the Intense Gesture prepares the body to receive the Relaxing Wave treatment. Lasting 30 minutes, this restorative global massage consists of stretching, relaxing techniques, and pressure points. It stimulates circulatory functions, relaxes muscles, and eliminates tension. The Intense Gesture is performed using Payot Nourishing Massage Oil. Made with organic sunflower, jojoba, and argan oils, its nourishing properties help soften the skin and facilitate the massage. It offers a tailor-made sensory experience since you are free to create the olfactory universe of your choice. The Elixir concentrate immerses you in an atmosphere of warm, sunny notes, the Mineral Vitality concentrate immerses you in a floral and musky ambiance, while the Herbalist concentrate offers fresh, green notes. The mind and body are then fully prepared to welcome the Heart of Care.
A traditional-inspired global back massage
The Relaxing Wave, like all Payot Hearts of Care, lasts 45 minutes. Inspired by tradition, it focuses on the entire back, the body's famous support, to relax it and allow it to regain its full mobility. The Relaxing Wave consists of a series of smoothing, kneading, and sliding pressures - slow and deep techniques aimed at the supraspinatus, subscapularis, and lumbar areas. The kneading, performed using the pads of the thumbs and fingers, aims to improve blood circulation and relax the muscles. The tissues are stretched and kneaded deeply. The upward and downward friction and smoothing help to soften the tissues while freeing knots.
The Relaxing Wave uses the hands, but also the forearms, whether it's the fleshy areas or the bony reliefs for a deeper action. Aimed at people who are athletic, travel a lot, are often sitting or standing, or simply looking for a moment of well-being, this back massage treats the shoulders, shoulder blades, lower back, along the paravertebral, neck and trapezius muscles.
A final touch made of special moments
Are you frustrated that the Payot cabin treatment is already coming to an end? Do you want to extend these delicious 75 minutes that have just passed? Don't panic, we've thought of everything. At the end of the Relaxing Wave treatment, you can, if you wish, continue the experience by choosing from 6 Special Moments. Each lasting 15 minutes, they focus on a specific area of the body: the scalp for the Relaxing Massage, the feet for the Comforting Gestures, the Hands for the Relaxing Gestures, the eyes for the Stimulating Patches or the face for the Firming Quartz Roller. The Healing Crystals, meanwhile, act on both the body and the mind. Placing revitalizing stones on the body promotes relaxation, soothes the mind and helps with concentration. It is possible to add one or more Special Moments to the Payot treatment.
Your personalized wellness experience concludes with a final ritual using hot stones. Placed this time on the arch of each foot, they accompany a gentle awakening. You feel deeply relaxed and your back regains full mobility.
